About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the clinic doors were closed and quiet settled over the base, a strange sound would occasionally echo through the empty corridors. A small child, visiting with their family for medical care, would point excitedly towards one corner of the waiting room, whispering, 'Mommy, what's that?' And then, out from behind the reception desk, a sleepy nurse in uniform would emerge, scratch her head, and say, ‘Oh, that’s just old Major Jenkins—he likes to sit here during his shift.’ The child would giggle, relieved, while everyone else in the room quietly wondered if maybe they’d been hearing things after all.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock, he noticed something odd: the receptionist’s chair had mysteriously spun around, facing away from her desk. Curious, the driver approached and saw that the receptionist was fast asleep in her swivel chair, snoring softly. He gently nudged her with his elbow, and she woke up with a start, blinking sleepily. ‘What time is it?’ she groaned, rubbing her eyes. The driver smiled and replied, ‘It’s okay, ma’am—it’s just after five.’

3. Late one morning, as a nurse prepared for her shift, she noticed an unusual message scrawled on the whiteboard in the staff room: ‘Today’s secret ingredient is patience.’ Curious, she glanced around, but everyone seemed oblivious. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box labeled ‘Top Secret’. No one dared open it until lunchtime, when the doctor announced, ‘Today’s recipe calls for exactly three drops of patience—from each and every one of you!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had. The day ended with free cookies and a new rule: always double-check the secret ingredients before trusting anyone.

4. Late one morning, as a nurse prepared for her shift, she noticed an unusual shadow moving between the clinic’s filing cabinets. Curious, she followed it and found nothing but a small, misplaced stethoscope dangling from one of the cabinets. Turning around, she saw an old janitor polishing the floor with a mischievous smile on his face. ‘Just helping out,’ he whispered. The nurse shook her head and smiled, knowing that some things are best left unexplained.
